Petal Promenade Lacy Happy Birthday

I love when I’m working with a product I’m not sure what to do with it.  For this card, I started with the Petal Promenade Designer Paper.  I needed to get 30 cards from the two sheets of this designer paper print.  I calculated the largest size I could get and started designer around that.  The designer paper in the center as the focal point – then what.  I’m not big on plain cardstock so I added layers around the designer paper and then stamped the lacy image from Southern Serenade stamp set.  That added just the right touch, don’t you think so?  I added that Happy Birthday banner strip across the center to finish off the card.

My Alaskan Cruise Highlights and Adventure

Sorry I’ve been absent for a bit.  I just returned from Stampin’ Up!’s Incentive Trip — an Alaskan Cruise.  We had such a great time.  My husband, Tony, went with me.  My sister and upline, Tina, earned the trip too, so she and her husband were also on the cruise.  We had so much fun together — great memories.

We started out in Seattle and traveled to Juneau where Tony and I went on a whale watching excursion.  It was great — we followed a whale, watching her coming out of the water for awhile and then moved to a different location where we saw a pod of Orca Whales.  There were 6 Orcas in this pod — it was amazing and apparently isn’t seen very often.  The naturalist on the boat grabbed a camera with an enormous lens and started taking pictures.  We sat and watched them for about 10-15 minutes and they put on a great show.

Our final gift was a new stamp set and framelits and a scratch off map.
Tony loved this and can’t wait to frame it.
You scratch off the places you’ve been — I can’t wait to see the colors fill in as we scratch off each trip.

Stampin’ Up! has given us some wonderful trips that I never would have taken on my own.
I am truly grateful to Stampin’ Up! for these incentive trips and am especially grateful to all of you
for your support and loyalty.
THANK YOU!!!
